Way more ennis clone than the nude model at least, granted I saw them across a busy bus station, and i have no idea how old that cosplay pic you posted was but ...spitting friggin image._________________

Not that old, it was only the beginning of this year. That's weird. Imagine if everyone had a totally unrelated twin somewhere in the world. I guess there's only so much lack of repitition you can have when there's 7 billion people who largely stick within certain parameters.

You don't have one of those attack on titan scout team jackets do you? Because then i'm outright calling doppelganger._________________

Haha no I do not, though I do like the show. But speaking of Attack on Titan and doppelgangers, there's this person in second-year animation at my uni who must be a Levi cosplayer because they have the haircut, wear the jacket and are the spitting image of him. I'd seen them around a few times and then somehow we ended up in the elevator together, and I finally caved to my desire to start humming the opening song. Fortunately they thought it was hilarious.

Supposedly I had a twin on campus when i was in college and everybody told me the only reason they knew it wasn't me was because she often wore a pink hat and nobody could imagine me ever wearing a pink hat._________________Samsally the GrayAce

That bottleneck is one of the main reasons why we're too genetically similar to make "race" a meaningful distinction among human beings.

And if we were going to try doing that, we'd have to put nearly everybody who isn't African (and most North Africans) into one race, and split up the continental African populations into one or more separate races.

African populations are the oldest and deepest human populations around. Consequently, they have more genetic diversity among themselves than all non-Africans put together. What's more, nearly all traits present in non-African populations are also present in African populations, but the converse is not true: Africans have many more distinctive genetic traits not shared with non-Africans.

If we were going to start applying the scientific, biological concept of "race" to Homo sapiens, it would not look at all like the traditional social meaning of the term. Asians, Australian aborigines, Egyptians, and lily-white Nordic folk would all be variations within the same race.

Eugène François Vidocq was the inspiration for Jean Valjean, Javert, August Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, and a host of other characters. He is ridiculously fascinating, and it is so odd to think he was a real person.

Also, raspberry, strawberry, and vanilla flavorings used to come from Castoreum, a secretion from beavers - from a sac right next to the anal glands. Apparently it's too expensive to get nowadays, so there probably isn't much of it in the modern food supply. Probably._________________[Stripeypants has enabled lurk mode.]
